I work four nights a week at a bar. Strangely enough, I usually drink very little to nothing on the nights I work. So, I've gone from 15 or 16 beers a week down to about 4. I guess. Hell, I don't know. I don't count 'em.
The only time I'll drink beer these days is when I go out. When I play a show I'll do two scotch/rocks to get a buzz, and slowly sip Guinness from then out. The lovely black stuff has a very low alcohol content, which I dig, nearly half that of a Bud or MGD. I'm no snob, but I much prefer the cleaner, more potent taste of a mainstream liquor (like Dewars, Chivas, unspiced Bacardi) over a mainstream beer.
When I was in college and bartending, I'd drink several cases a week......a few times, as many as one case in a night (I shudder to think of that now). Along with that, I had a bit of wine, and a BUNCH of Dewers, Crown, Tuaca, and Ketal One. Now.....I average two or three beers a month. Mostly I just drink wine now...on average, a couple of glasses a night. My alcohol consumption is down.......but I'm sure not spending any less............
Hate to tell you.....there isn't much difference in alcohol content--less than ten percent: http://www.rdecker.com/alcohol/alcproof.htm
I drank a LOT of beer in college. I mean A LOT. Pretty much every night. Sometimes I'd even skip class to get an early start. Now it depends. I probably drink more beer sitting in Minute Maid Park than anywhere else. I also drink on special occasions, maybe 2 or 3 times a month. I keep a 12-pack of Heineken in the fridge and I'll occasionally have 3 or 4 while in my hot-tub after a long day at the office but that's not very often. It can take me a good month or more to finish off a 12-pack. I used to prefer a good rum and coke over beer but I quit the hard liquor about a year ago after I blacked out at a party and didn't remember driving home. Very scary. Now, I'll have a few margaritas if I'm at a mexican restaurant but that's really not as often as I used to.
I picked up my drinking habits in high school and I pretty much drink the same way. I don't drink casually, just to get drunk. I don't sip, I pound. Just last Sunday I was funneling beer with jello shots dropped into the funnel while I was pounding and I loved it. I never drink around my kids and rarely around my wife. But when I am with the fellas I'll knock back 6 to 12 beers in an evening. I do this probably average of twice every three weeks during football season and Once a month outside of football. Oh and when I record I drink 10 to 15 beers in a 4 to 6 hour period. My partner smokes weed and I drink beer. I don't dig the ganja. I dig the brew.
i drink an average of about 16 a week. one or two every weeknight and 3 to 6 on weekends. i rarely drink liquor. maybe an average of a couple shots/mixed drinks a month. kiran ichiban has been my beer of choice for about a year now.
guinness is effing bad arse. the more i drink the stuff, the more bud light, budweiser, etc... seem like piss water to me. about six a week. i 've never been a really big beer drinker until the last several months. noticed a little tummy building up... (not that i can't use one though). (as i'm typing this, i'm drinking a red wine called "vampire"... supposedly imported from transylvania. good stuff.)
I bought a 28 pack in the first week of September and there are still about 9 left. I'm more of a liquor guy, though. Rum & coke, tequila & OJ, vodka & anything, etc...

I am telling you this, you have so much potential to be a legend with the way you talk. I don't know if this is an act, or this is the way you really talk, but whichever, you must keep this up. Let me translate this so you can understand, if ya falla me. the way you speak, itz so funny cause you sound so krunk, hold on playa, im not nocking ya, its cause its funny shizts, aight? Ur talk style is a flamin door off the hinges. the translation took me about five or six minutes to figure out. that was damn hard, aight g?
I typically drink about 18 beers or so a week, usually on the weekends. I'll throw in a few cocktails if I'm having a good time. I also enjoy a nice blunt once a month or so, but no more of this "every day" smoking. I'm not in college anymore.
I was at the Octoberfest for St. Arnolds tonight to support my friends and neighbors there. Still, consumed zero beers. Zero interest in the heavy malt beverages. [PLUG] However, If I liked beer, I'm sure I'd LOVE St. Arnold's! Too Bad I don't ! For me, that is! Ha! [/PLUG] I do like alcohol and the buzz, but prefer liquor, preferably 7 million proof. Well check that, everclear is a little strong. But generally, honestly, if its 90 vs 100 proof, the faster I get lit, the better. Taste is nice and all, but buzz comes first. Nothing heavy, no stupor. I just want to feel it. If I can't feel it, and fast, bleh. Actually, the red bull and even low proof vodka can rocket into the bloodsteam pleasantly effectively. Also, the old champage cocktail trick still works like a charm. Blend with sugar and gin and you have something, cowboy. I suppose the alchohol police will come to take me away, now.
